| In the DHCPV6 RFC the IAADDR option specifies an IPV6 address but without
| any indication to where the prefix & interface id starts and ends. However
| if you read Radius RFC's for IPV6, they explicitly specify this information,
| in otherwords they break the IPV6 address into its components.
|
| Does you know why it was done this way ?
The boundaries in the addresses are for assignment purposes.
Once the address has been assigned, the boundaries should be
invisible in all further uses (including transmitting the address
from the assignor (DHCP) to the asignee)
